TV star Rolf Harris guilty of sex assaults in Britain

Police have faced questions over Operation Yewtree, a wide-ranging investigation into alleged assaults by veteran entertainment stars and show business personalities which has so far netted just two convictions from 17 arrests.

After the Harris verdict, investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Mick Orchard vowed police would always investigate abuse allegations, regardless of who they were against or how long ago they took place.

“He (Harris) committed many offences in plain sight of people as he thought his celebrity status placed him above the law,” Orchard added.

Scotland Yard also said they were also now investigating “a number” of fresh allegations against Harris that had been made since the start of the trial.

A frail-looking Harris made no comment on the verdict as he left court hand-in-hand with his wife and daughter.
